I have come to realise that in my world and that means my everyday life, there is no holding back and I really do not care who it is I am talking to as I just Say it as it Is.

My style is no mincing words or trying to sound like this or that.

I get to meet all sorts of people and I find it interesting how people are sometimes uncomfortable in their own skins to just let the tongue loose and Say it as it is.

I find to Say it as it is like fresh air. It’s clear and not foggy if that makes sense.

When I start conversations people light up, their shoulders drop and the guard comes down and off they go sharing and talking with the ‘Say it as it is’ style.

It is like the thing is catching on because that is how I am and they have permission to be the same, which is connect to who they truly are and simply express from there – nothing more and nothing less.

This is not about sounding a certain way or like another but simply our own truth being voiced without any hidden agenda or laced with this or that.

I reckon most people like the ‘Say it as it is’ and those who don’t may have their reasons, but in my world I see no point wasting a nanosecond talking jibber when straight talk – Say it as it is most certainly is needed in any situation.

The title of this blog is ‘Say It As It Is’ but, rather ironically, having just read it, I have been left gobsmacked by one question contained in the blog.

The question, ‘What if it is time to just SAY IT AS IT IS because our body is telling us so. Could it be that simple?’, is possibly the most profound thing about honest communication that I have ever read.

Waiting for a bus I was staring inside this cake shop which had a unique selling point – egg free.

It got me thinking how on earth do they have so many cakes – all with fresh cream, every size you could think of and then the individual ones incase it was not for a special occasion.

Well in that area there are certain types of cultures that want the cake but not the egg as they are vegetarians. So the demand is there.

Old man, very well spoken stands next to me and he was endorsing this shop and in my usual style of Say It as It is – I delivered with no holding back.

Yes I can understand that this shop exists simply because there is a demand.

WHY I would never eat fresh cream or go near that amount of sugar was my next statement and on we went with this conversation.

What I have noticed happens in our world is when another claims what they want to say, we tend to nod, agree or go along with it for whatever reason, but in my world of operating I see no point or purpose in doing so.

Why not just Say It as It is as chances are we give another the opportunity to maybe consider another way or another angle to something that they may not be aware of until that moment?

Not saying it as it really is serves no one if you ask me and what is the worst that could happen if we just said it as it really was?

Kids do that all the time and we find it sweet, endearing and inspiring so why did we stop when we became grown ups?

I have been very aware recently that there have been occasions in my life recently when I have held back from saying it as it is.

When I ponder these instances of not saying it is it is, I can see that I have held back from speaking honestly because of fear: fear of rejection, fear of conflict, fear of disapproval, fear of losing something that I have in the world.

So, ultimately, it seems to me that I do not say it how it is at times because of attachments, or investments, I have in the world. By holding back like this, I am choosing the status quo in the world over what’s true for me – put more succinctly, I’m choosing the world over truth.

That makes me feel terrible when I look at it because, by not speaking out, I am, depending on the context, either effectively supporting and sanctioning the status quo in the world in order that my comfort or self-interest is maintained, or resisting my own growth and evolution by remaining within my comfort zone for fear of what might happen if I put my head above the parapet.

It would be true to say that I talk to anyone at anytime, if I feel it is appropriate.

In most situations, I have something to say and so I just deliver.
A bit like a messenger who has been given a package of words that another needs to hear and take note of.

My job is to express in full and that means not hold back or give bits but just say it as it is and go the whole hog.

Today I went to a new local business recommended by a friend.

Well it was like I walked in with this package – a download specific and relevant to exactly what they need right now for their next step. Sounds a bit whacky perhaps but this is how it is.

One of them has a full time job in banking and this is a side business with his mate.
He goes on to tell me that he lost money and failed in a business overseas and so he then decided this was not big bucks but his friend has his heart in this field and he wanted to help him out, so he invested and became a partner in this new business.

Whether he was speaking the truth or not was not my concern. What I did know was there was going to be no mincing of words, just straight talk.

I asked him did he have any hidden agenda, motive or need to make money in the business that went belly up. Of course I knew the answer.

The majority of people who go into business when they have a full time job are in it to make more money, profit from something they see as new or unique or they have pictures of a future lifestyle they want and this is one way of getting what they want.

I told him that without any hesitation.

He asked me what I do and then in my wise way I said to him that when we do what we can to profit from people it will never work out as it is not the Truth. Regardless of all those he knows that have so-called “made it” in the money stakes, it would be wise to check out all areas of their life and see how that success shows itself. Rare is it in today’s world that we have relationships, family and health all scoring high as our bank balance.

I told him that I worked for God and that meant I do what is needed and go where I am needed and that means for the people. If I make money as a result of this then that’s the bonus.

I am not rich by any means when it comes to cash millions but boy oh boy I am super rich when it comes to the Quality department of life in which I choose to live by day in and day out. My health and state of being is that of someone much younger and that to me is worth millions in itself.

Back to this comment – what if we all just say it as it is when the moment presents itself and do another a favour as they get the package – the full download and then they can choose to take note, reflect on it or ignore it?

What if we all just say it as it is to those whose paths we cross, if we sense and feel to?

What if this would not only support them to evolve but equally give us the blessing as we have helped another to look at their life from another perspective?
